Begin Your Journey
In the first of this two-part series, our introductory class is designed to
provide students with the foundational knowledge and practices of
shamanism in preparation to delve deeper into the dynamics of
personal existence, our place in this world and the universal support
that surrounds all life.
What You Will Learn
Connection with Nature
One of the most profound lessons you’ll learn, and experience, is a deep connection with nature. In a shamanic worldview, nature is a living, breathing entity, and through your training, you’ll learn to appreciate the intricate balance and harmony that exists within the natural world. This connection fosters a sense of respect and responsibility towards nature and the environment.
Self-Discovery
Shamanic training is a journey of self-discovery. You’ll look within, confront your fears, and embrace your true self. You will learn about your place in the universe and engage with helping spirits and ancestors who offer deep wisdom, love, and knowledge that can be impactfully applied to modern life.
Energy Medicine
Shamanic training involves various healing practices, some dating back thousands of years, that go beyond simple physical ailments. You will learn how the energetic aspects of living beings affect their physical and psychological well-being and how to work with energy to achieve optimum balance between mind, body, and spirit.
Ancient Rituals and Ceremonies
ou’ll participate in and learn ancient rituals and ceremonies that have been practiced for centuries. You will experience the power of ceremony and its ability to alter the state and perception of the participants. Through these practices you will find new ways to connect you with the spiritual realm and the ancestors, providing insights and guidance that are otherwise unattainable.
Mindfulness and Presence
Shamans teach the importance of being present and mindful. You’ll learn to quiet your mind, focus on the present moment, and cultivate a sense of inner peace. This mindfulness can lead to greater clarity and a deeper understanding of yourself and the universe around you.
Community and Belonging
Shamanic training involves becoming part of a community. You’ll learn the value of a communal outlook, of sharing, and of supporting one another. This sense of belonging is the natural state of human beings but is often lost in our complex, modern lives.
Respect for Tradition
In a world where the next new things always get the attention, the shamanic student finds peace, comfort, and support through the engagement with practices that predate modern civilization. Shamanic tradition reminds us that we do not have to find new solutions to life’s greatest challenges; we simply need to remember what we have forgotten.
Personal Empowerment
Ultimately, Shamanism is about personal empowerment and responsibility. You will learn to trust your intuition, make decisions with confidence, and navigate the complexities of life with a sense of purpose and direction.
Shamanism is Beyond Words
Our language lacks the depth and resonance to describe the sensations felt by shamanic people when they engage with these practices, their lineage, their guides and helping spirits, and the Great Spirit that fills all time and space across the universe. When language fails, perception, awareness, inclusiveness, and belonging come forward to fill that space.
